We're not NY, where the shortage of buildable land is so severe all the buildings butt up against each other. Couple the loss of views & natural light with the added noise of being so close together and it's a lose-lose for everyone. Too bad the zoning committee is asleep at the switch.

They're developing the 1200 Stewart project but it looks like Multi-Capital is still behind the Heron/Pagoda project. James - it is likely the East side units of Escala will be "cosmopolitanized" with the development of this project with only the width of the alley separating the buildings. Morning sunlight will probably be obscured, too. Justin - are you sure about Midby?

I'm not too sure this will block any views from ESCALA considering it's eastern location. It's also built by Midby, the same of ESCALA and think they're great. Most of ESCALA's views are western, while it looks like Pagoda Towers most valuable views will be northern lake view. James.

This would of course take away the views of the Escala, so look for those guys to try to slow this down. I hope not. Would be a fresh addition to downtown; i hope this gets built eventually.
